Flyduino Pro Micro + 10DOF IMU GY-86 + Multiplex GPS Modul

[Pretender1988]

Hi,
I am new here and i hope i put that topic correctly

Here is my question:

Could i use the GPS Modul from Multiplex with my Flyduino Pro Micro board? Or does it not work with the Multiwii code?

Here is the GPS Modul:

It's unclear to me what kind of output this device provides. Does it have a serial interface, issuing NMEA sentences?

Hi,
I have the same problem.... but if you could give me a questions about that product that will bring us to a answer then I would like to ask Multiplex about it. And we will have soon the answer for my topic XD
I will ask them out the output... i hope i could get an answer
I will update this topic then!
Regards,
Sven

Well, the pin assignment and protocol (Serial, I2C or something else) would be the most useful information to begin with. Also the update rate is crucial, 5-10Hz are useful, 1Hz is usually too slow.

What I'm unclear about: why this one? Do you already own it? If not, I'd suggest you look into alternatives that are known to work instead, like this one, for example.

Hi I got all Information from Multiplex in a pdf document.

Do you need more Informations?

Thanks! I looked at this document and it seems like Multiplex has developed their own communication protocol. So MultiWii does not support this device out of the box, you would have to implement their protocol first. There seems to be an existing Arduino library, but it's certainly not a trivial task to merge this into the MultiWii code base (if the license actually allows it).

Ok many Thanks, I will buy a supported GPS modul.
